Background and Brief Description 

The oral use of smokeless tobacco 

(SLT) products represents a significant 

health risk which can cause cancer and 

a number of non-cancerous oral 

conditions, and can lead to nicotine 

addiction and dependence. 

Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe 

substitute for cigarette smoking. The 

Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco 

Health Education Act of 1986 (15 U.S.C. 

4401 et seq., P. L. 99–252) requires each 

person who manufactures, packages, or 

imports smokeless tobacco (SLT) to 

provide the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) with a list of 

ingredients added to tobacco in the 

manufacture of smokeless tobacco 

products. This legislation also 

authorizes HHS to undertake research, 

and submit an annual report to Congress 

(as deemed appropriate) discussing the 

health effects of these ingredients in 

smokeless tobacco products. HHS has 

delegated responsibility for the 

implementation of this Act to CDC’s 

Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). 

Respondents report the required 

information to CDC once per year 

according to Tobacco Ingredient and 

Nicotine Reporting instructions posted 

on the OSH Web site. Changes effective 

with this reinstatement relate to the 

redesign of the OSH Web site. There are 

no costs to respondents other than their 

time. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours are 18,843.
